Interviewed Nov 2010 in Costa Mesa, CA (took a day)
I arrived for an interview at the Costa Mesa, CA store. The moment I arrived, the manager told me to come back in 20 minutes. I wish the person told me to come later instead of me having to drive 17 miles to interview and find out I have to wait.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Bangalore (India) (took a day)
Two rounds of interview. Both were quite similar only the interviewers were different. Interviewed mainly on points written on my resume and based on my aptitude test. Was asked to describe my projects. Standard question like why do you want to join the company; what skillset will you bring to the company. They wanted to ensure that the candidate has positive attitude with good communication skill.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in Foster City, CA (took 3 days)
Was contacted by HR via email to set up a phone screening time. Very pleasant and enthusiastic about seeing if I could be a match for the position. Notified me that there would not be relocation assistance provided. Was scheduled for an interview with the team's hiring manager. Manager was about 40 minutes late to 1:1 phone interview, but after contacting HR, the situation was resolved and I was able to interview for about 30 minutes. Manager apologized for the mix-up and came prepared with background of the company, needs/responsibilities of the position, and was genuinely interested in who I was and what my goals were. We briefly discussed trends (not related to the interview) in the industry for a bit and then concluded the interview. Was contacted shortly after (2 business days) and offered position.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
Had difficulty finding suitable housing in time; lack of corporate housing options made it a bit challenging to be able to accept the offer.

Interviewed Nov 2010 in San Jose, CA (took 1 week)
I applied online at Sony.com and got a response back in a few days. The HR rep asked a few general questions about experience in sales and customer service and then schedule an in person interview for me with the manager. The one on one interview was very easy, general questions about your experience and how you would fit the position. Talk about your experience in customer service and provide an example on how you would approach and close a sale.
